There are several aspects of audio converter design that are generally not well understood but have a dramatic impact on performance, both measurable and audible. Audio converter IC manufacturers ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The quest for power reduction in electronic circuits is one of the main drivers of circuit design innovation. Recently, ...

In professional audio, analog interconnections between devices typically use “balanced” interfaces. At the source, a balanced output stage differentially drives two signal wires (theoretically with ...

As audio integrated circuit designs move to finer geometries, it becomes more difficult to design, and less cost-effective to integrate, high-performance analog circuits on the same piece of silicon ...

The boundaries between mobile phones, tablets, and PCs are converging, becoming nearly nonexistent. As this convergence takes place, vendors serving these ecosystems must find common ways to enable ...
